Submitted by daddio from tapewarm (Music from Marz):
This is a great pic. And I've been to the tapewarm site before. They have a lot of great free MP3 downloads of their music. One of the frequent guest performers is Lx Rudis, with whom I have played at least once…
Yes, I know its a day late , but shouldn't we be patriotic every day?
As part of my July 4 festivities I went to see the movie SiCKO. While I figure out what I want to write about that somewhat depressing experience, I'll offer you this rant from “K.O.”:
K.O. was featured here on CatSynth last year.
Of course they're not going to resign. There are other alternatives, of course. But I think It's mostly a matter of running out the clock now:
It looks like the Sunday podcast featuring another track from deCouto was not properly linked and thus did not load properly for everyone. I fixed it yesterday, so anyone who missed the latest episode should do so now. I apologize for the mistake.
Remember this photo from a few days ago?
Well, this photo has inspired several lolcat captions, including on this original post:
“im in ur ether, changing ur capacitanz”
There are several more suggestions on this repost at matrix.
So am calling the first LolCatSynth contest, to write even more lolcat captions for this photo. Please leave your suggestions in the comment section.
There isn't really any “prize” or “winner” for this particular contest, though I will be happy to do the actual captioning for my favorite submissions, as well as post them (with credit) to the popular lolcat sites.
Tonight's podcast is another track from expire(ments) in patience bythe band DoCouto. From their page at the Internet Archive:

The track “patty hurts” was featured on a previous podcast.

WCB #108 is being hosted by Pet's Garden Blog, and in honor of the “bengal brats”, we are offering some more photos of our bengal-like neighbor:
On hot summer days, he sometimes would stop and drink out of the fountain sculpture in the yard.
The fountain is an original sculpture of mine titled Imbalance, completed in 2004 and then renovated in 2006. It has been featured on this site before.
Some neighbors do leave out water bowls as a safer alternative, though like many places there are controversies about outdoor cats. We prefer to simply think of them as part of our neighborhood.
Of course, it wouldn't be WCB without Luna starring, so here are some recent relaxing photos of la gatita bonita:
Check out all the other cats at Weekend Cat Blogging #108 and Carnival of the Cats #171 (at a still secure undisclosed location, I'll update when I found out where). We are also showing up late, yet again, for Friday Ark #145.
Speaking of strays, we're going to continue our experiment with Open Trackbacks for this post. Feline related trackbacks preferred.
Who doesn't love pictures of cute kittens?
Well, these kittens are in Lebanon, being cared for by members of BETA. Like many places closer to home, it is kitten season, and their shelter is overflowing with kittens who need homes. And this is on top of the cats and other animals that BETA has rescued from the recent confrontations and senseless religious/tribal violence still happening there.
Meanwhile, in Germany, a country famous around the world for its warm and fuzzy nature, animal shelters experience a summer influx of cats for very different reasons. According the the reports accompanying these photos from Reuters, many of these cats are surrendered to shelters, or simply abandoned, during the long European summer vacation season. You can click on the photo below for a second article.
They don't have pet sitters in Germany?
